"I hope you've got your finger on that fuckin' Seinfeld button" is such a great moment. Justin can't even finish his sentence and Griffin is already cutting him off to say "no, you're better than this"
the thing I always wonder about greeting cards is, which one is the oldest on the shelf, and how long has it been there. because like, when people go to pick out greeting cards, it's always arduous, right? and it's almost like greeting card companies don't understand the niche they fill sometimes? like, if you're getting someone a card, it's kind of a formal or impersonal thing... you're like, sending it to a relative who lives far enough away that you can't attend their birthday, you don't see them often, and you're shoving money or a gift card in there in lieu of a gift. or you're giving it with a gift to someone who's maybe a little old fashioned? like, I've never given a card to a peer... I'll usually just give a gift, or take them out to eat or something. cards are always going to someone who is either much older than you, or much younger but whose parents put off the vibe that a card would be appropriate. if the card is in total replacement of a gift, then that's just a sign of relative unfamiliarity with the person in general. so considering all that... it's weird to me how many strangely specific or really rude cards there are? and considering how tone deaf a lot of them are, it really makes you wonder how long a greeting card can stay on a shelf, untouched because it has never been appropriated for anyone's needs, before it is removed. is there a fabled ancient one?
I pull a random gift card off the shelf. I am displeased to learn that the words that once marked its front have become worn with time, mere shadows on the bright pastel green of the cover. I open the card, and as I ponder the blank space within, the card's many eyes come to ponder the blank spaces in me and its inky tendrils of eldritch influence seek to fill them as I would seek to fill it with pointless platitudes. The Ancient Card.
okay this is crazy to me because i'm the opposite, i'll only really get a card for a close friend or family member. like if they're not close to me, i'll just write them a note, because that's easier than navigating what kind of card would fit that relationship. but with close relationships i just get them the wrong card intentionally, i pick the absolute worst or least fitting because i think it's really funny... like, i celebrate hanukkah but some of my family celebrate christmas, so when there were predictably no combo cards for that i just got my sibling a sympathy card for a wife death (they are chronically single and in their 20s) and our dad a bridal shower card (he is chronically divorced). it's a big hit usually
griffin saying "luv ya like a sister" reawakened some vestigial sort of 90s-00s teen girl soul in the back of my mind from when i read my older sisters' magazines as a kid. sometimes i forget people lived that and it wasn't just a portal i looked through via tiger beat
What I thought Justin was going to say is that they should have gift cards that backdate the dollar amount, so you just say this person is sending you a card go buy some shit, and then once they buy the stuff that amount gets charged on the credit card (to an extent of course)
They talk about Home Alone like way more than any other movie

why did justin’s inhale at the beginning scare me
You are rightfully scared. The beginning of this is so dystopian

The Ancient Card.
@@glyph1869 The ancient card? You mean Exodia
The oldest card on the shelf is usually one of the Dead Sea Scrolls, actually
